Anybody out there mowing without a deck baffle attached? What is the purpose of it anyhow and will it affect the mowing cut? Mine caught on a small stump while backing up and ripped off the underside of the deck. This is the second time in the last 6 mos this has happened. Any answers will be appreciated. Mower is a Husqvarna YTH22V46 lawn tractor

This is old at this point, but just commenting to say that I had a similar issue. It didn't rip clean off, but was bent downward so much that it was gouging the ground with the deck any lower than the "6" setting. I ended up removing it, and attaching a replacement ($13 or so from amazon if I recall correctly).

I read that it's needed for optimal air flow and ejection out the side for clipping, etc, but no idea how well mowing without it would work. Sort of lame that the metal this baffle is made out of is apparently so much weaker than the rest of the deck..
